What is NCADD?

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. is a national non-profit organization combating alcoholism, other drug addictions and related problems through its National Office, 200 state and local affiliates and thousands of volunteers in the communities throughout America. Founded in 1944, NCADD's mission is to increase awareness about the devastating effects of alcoholism and drug dependence of the individual, the family, and the community. NCADD provides the opportunity for recovery through information, education and support.

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence of the Central Mississippi Area was established in 1949 as the Jackson Committee for Education on Alcoholism. Volunteers provided all services until the first Executive Director was hired in the 1950's as the community's needs for services grew. During the last 50 years, the Council has grown in size and in the number of services provided. Funding is made possible through United Way, private donations and grants.
